Tex Size is the gram weight of 1000 meters of greige yarn (undyed without finish). Tex Sizes are bracketed as you can see above.
When assigning a Tex Size, you always drop back down to the beginning Tex number in a bracket. For example, a actual Tex of
29.5 would be properly label a Tex 27. A actual Tex size of 100 would be labeled a Tex 90.

Denier is the gram weight per 9000 meters.

Yarn Sz is the number of 840yd hanks per pound
